"Those laws include limiting the collection of certain personal information and requiring more transparency from companies. The laws are in response to AI that already pervades everyday life. The technology helps make consequential decisions for Americans, including who gets a job interview, an apartment lease, a home loan and even certain medical care. But research has shown that it can make mistakes in those decisions, including by prioritizing a particular gender or race."
""It's not a matter of AI makes mistakes and humans never do," said Calli Schroeder, director of the AI & Human Rights Program at the public interest group EPIC. "With a human, I can say, 'Hey, explain, how did you come to that conclusion, what factors did you consider?'" she continued. "With an AI, I can't ask any of that, and I can't find that out. And frankly, half the time the programmers of the AI couldn't answer that question.""
President Donald Trump is considering pressuring states to stop regulating artificial intelligence through a draft executive order, and some members of Congress are considering temporarily blocking state AI rules. Republicans argue that existing and potential state regulations would dampen innovation and economic growth for AI. Critics across parties and civil liberties groups contend that banning state regulation would favor large AI companies and reduce oversight. Four states—California, Colorado, Texas and Utah—have enacted laws limiting certain data collection and requiring greater transparency. AI already influences hiring, housing, lending and medical decisions and research shows it can produce biased or erroneous outcomes. Calli Schroeder notes that AI often cannot explain its decisions and programmers may be unable to do so.
